I Know How To Eat

New year means we're all trying to lose a little weight. however I am having trouble because I keep stuffing my face with chocolate.

There better be some of you suffering with me!

We were really punished when Eve was told not eat the dang apple!

I would understand if it was a piece of chocolate, some pizza, or something cheesy!

But an apple?!? Really?

Because of Eve's decision, I think God gave girls the inability to not eat something when we know we shouldn't.

I don't even know how much I weigh. I just never weigh myself, don't care, and know that a number couldn't make me who I am. If I looked in the mirror and saw someone looking good, then I was where I needed to be. If I looked in the mirror and saw gross, that was my cue. I worked with an image and never a number.

Now I am not and have never been the skinniest girl. My mom threw me in swimming in 8th grade because I was getting overweight and I could never thank her enough. I could have been really self conscious about my weight...my sisters have beautiful bodies, my mom works hard and is a hottie, and here I am. But I had some sort of confidence in me that made me okay. I am also lucky to have a husband who makes me feel the most beautiful woman in the world… even at my ugliest. So when I look at myself sometimes I have these kind of crazy conversations with myself:

Don't worry! I'm right there with you. And I'm trying to lose my baby weight! It' so odd because every time I get back from the gym I crave chocolate without fail! It's so aggravating. Oh, you just burned 600 calories doing crazy Zumba? Here, eat a whole box of oreos. Grrrr.

Haha, but for real, I would love to eat healthier and exercise more. But I have such a jumbled schedule, it's hard to commit to anything! And half the time, I don't always have time to eat real meals, so I just stuff my face with whatever is closest when I finally have time to sit down and eat, haha.

I want to do insanity! I need someone to do it with me though, I'm terrible at keeping myself accountable! Right now I've got this idea in my head that I want to be a runner. And then I come home from the gym and eat a giant meal plus ice cream, whoops! :)

it is hard not to binge on super bowl sunday, it is hard not to binge on chocolate that is such a downfall. and i never thought of it but i agree with you on that point about eve i think you are right about that!

I am totally like you. Mid run, I start talking to myself and just saying "It's not like I'm that out of shape, I can walk the rest of the way" haha but then I try not to let myself think that way and remind myself how much better I'll feel if I try my hardest. It always ends up being true.
